Nowadays, the American Diabetic Association (ADA) statement recommends further reductions of LDL-C (< 100 mg/dl), increase of HDL-C (>45 mg/dl) and reduction of TG (<200 mg/dl) in diabetic patients.
A recent meta-analysis reported that diet combined with exercise favours the reduction in LDL-C and triglycerides but lessens the increase in HDL-C, when compared with exercise alone (Leon and Sanchez, 2001).
The Ato Z trial that promoted the use of higher doses of simvastatin rather than much lower doses arbitrarily eliminated subjects with both "high or low" LDL-C levels, favoring the higher dose.
